Why it works
Four things make TaiBoli work: a real syllabus, a tutor of their own, games that do the practising and a design built for diaspora families.
A real syllabus, curated by curriculum designers
A real school scope and sequence, built the way schools build them. Your child moves up only when they're ready, and each level is about a school year of learning. Seven levels, first words to fluent.
| Level | Reading & grammar | Speaking & everyday themes |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Vocabulary through rhymes, stories and games | First words and songs |
| Level 1 | The vowels; core vocabulary, family, colours, food, animals, seasons, numbers to 20 | A day in the life: greetings, routines, hobbies, school, telling time |
| Level 2 | The consonants; reading simple words; adjectives and opposites; numbers to 30 | Past tense and possessives; birthdays, the market, asking questions |
| Level 3 | Matras; reading sentences and first books; nouns, verbs, adjectives, singular/plural | Future tense; shopping and trips; formal vs. informal speech |
| Level 4 | Reading comprehension and fluency; advanced verbs and adjectives; possessives and obliques | Introducing themselves, telling stories, reciting poetry; professions and emotions; perfect tenses |
| Level 5 | Longer comprehension; pronouns, command verbs, advanced tenses | School life, chores, daily routines; nuanced feelings |
| Level 6 | Critical reading and a book club; spiral revision of all grammar | Real scenarios, doctor, travel, health, technology, plus debate and role-play |
Listening, speaking and reading, in Roman or Devanagari, come with every plan. Writing Devanagari on a keyboard (the skill assessments like STAMP 4S require), plus the formal writing strand, are the Script Track add-on.
A tutor of their own, the holy grail of learning
For decades, the most effective way for a child to learn has been a personal tutor: Benjamin Bloom found a tutored child can outperform 98% of a regular classroom. The only catch was cost, and AI finally changes that.
It's one-to-one and adapts in real time, faster on a good day, gentler on a hard one. It listens to your child speak and gives them real feedback. And it's endlessly patient: it never says "wrong," knows them by name and becomes someone they look forward to.
Games that do the practising
A whole library of games handles the repetition between lessons. Each one quietly adjusts to your child.
Using spaced repetition, words come back right before they'd be forgotten; the difficulty eases when your child struggles and ramps up when they're flying. No levels, no grind, just practice that happens to be fun.
